Triss Merigold is a Temerian sorceress who hails from Maribor. Called the Fourteenth of the Hill by her contemporaries because she was erroneously thought to have been killed during the Battle of Sodden Hill. A former member of King Foltest's royal council and founding member of the Lodge of Sorceresses, she was involved in politics for most of her life. She is one of the many lovers of Geralt of Rivia and both a good friend and love rival of Yennefer of Vengerberg.
